Letter to the editor: Columnist fails to renowned that the Bible is God’s observe

Two feedback should be made in accordance with the may 18 Maine Voices column ("Jesus constructed bridges, and so may still we").

First, nowhere does the creator (the Rev. Cindy Maddox) suggest that the Bible is anything else apart from the writing of guys. whether it is only that, then we may also accept or reject its contents, in line with our preferences. although, if this book is indeed the word of God, because it claims to be, then we ignore any of its content material at our peril. All of it, now not simply the components we like, is important to our lives.

second, in reading this book (as in analyzing any publication), we need to appear on the entirety of what it says. primarily is this real after we agree with what Jesus Christ pointed out and taught. He did certainly communicate of love but additionally of judgment, of heaven however much more of hell. And Jesus certainly made the declare in John 14 that there is only one way to the father, and that way is Jesus Himself.

We may additionally reject what Jesus said, we may additionally no longer consider it, however let us at least be inclined to renowned what He really taught. And let us be aware that He noted now not handiest that He got here to bear witness to the fact however that He Himself is the certainty, which may set us free from our sin and despair.
